#037: Zero to Hero Network Automation Journey with Anthony House and Christian Bray, Part 1

Network Automation Nerds Podcast

Hello and welcome to Network Automation Nerds podcast.

Today on the show, we will talk to Anthony and Christian about going from completely manual network operation to robust, usable, and practical network automation in 2 short years. Why is this relevant to you? Because they have a relatively simple formula that can be reused by other organizations, large and small.
In part 1 of the talk, we will focus on their background and the context in which the network is operated in. The initial exploratory phase and the first big project Anthony and Christian worked on.

I am super excited to have Anthony and Christian on the show. Let’s dive right in!
